Blessed

I recently realized how blessed I am. I was cleaning the kitchen in a bad mood because I actually had to do something. Every time I have to clean I'm crabby. Then I started thinking about how I should be thankful that I have a kitchen to clean. I was thinking about how lots of people don't have homes. I was thinking about how lots of people don't have families or education. While I am so blessed with a family that loves me and parents that are still together. How I get to go to school everyday and complain about it. I'm sure some child in a far off country in poverty would love to get the chance to learn what I take for granted. I am so blessed and don't even realize it.
